Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC grinding machine tool technology, specifically to a chip removal structure for CNC grinding machine tools. Background Technology
[0002] A CNC grinding machine tool is a machine tool that uses a digital control system to precisely control the grinding process. It is a product of the combination of traditional grinding machine tools and modern CNC technology. In a CNC grinding machine tool, the movement of various motion axes of the machine tool (such as the feed axis of the grinding wheel, the rotation axis of the workpiece, etc.) is controlled by a pre-programmed program, thereby achieving precise grinding of the workpiece.
[0003] CNC grinding machines generate a lot of debris when machining workpieces. Existing CNC grinding machines are not convenient for cleaning up the debris, which causes the debris to accumulate on the machine table.
[0004] Therefore, the applicant has made beneficial designs and found a way to solve the above problems. The technical solution to be introduced below is generated in this context. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention provides a chip removal structure for CNC grinding machine tools to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A chip removal structure for a CNC grinding machine includes a frame, a chip collection groove at the top of the frame, grinding mechanisms on both sides of the chip collection groove at the top of the frame, several infrared sensors on one side wall of the chip collection groove, and an inclined structure with one end higher than the other at the bottom of the chip collection groove. A water distributor is located at the higher end of the chip collection groove, and a water tank is located at the bottom of the lower end of the chip collection groove. A water pump is located on one side of the water tank, and a water pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump. A control valve is connected to the outlet of the control valve and the inlet of the water distributor. Several outlet pipes are provided at the outlet of the water distributor. The water pump and the control valve are both electrically connected to the several infrared sensors.
[0008] Preferably, the water tank is provided with a drain head on the side opposite to the water pump.
[0009] Preferably, a filter disc is detachably installed at the top opening of the water tank, and a filter screen is provided at the bottom of the filter disc.
[0010] Preferably, the sensing ends of several infrared sensors are arranged in contact with the bottom wall of the chip collection groove.
[0011] Preferably, the grinding mechanism includes a workpiece clamp disposed on one side of the frame and a grinding tool disposed on the other side of the frame.
[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] The chip removal structure for a CNC grinding machine tool provided in this embodiment of the utility model has at least one of the following technical effects:
[0014] This utility model, through the aforementioned technical solution, enables the following: when there is a large amount of debris on the inner wall surface of the chip collection trough, an infrared sensor detects the debris on the bottom wall surface of the chip collection trough and activates the water pump. The water pump sends water from the water tank through a water pipe to the control valve, which then sends the water to the water distribution drain. The water distribution drain distributes the water through several outlet pipes to the higher end of the chip collection trough. Because the chip collection trough has an inclined structure, the water flows towards the lower end of the chip collection trough, flushing the debris on the surface of the chip collection trough into the water tank. The debris is then filtered by the filter disc at the top of the water tank, allowing the water to fall into the water tank. This not only effectively cleans the debris on the surface of the chip collection trough but also allows for water reuse and circulation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the chip removal structure for a CNC grinding machine tool according to the present invention.
[0022] In this embodiment, a frame 1 is included. A chip collection groove 2 is provided on the top of the frame 1. Grinding mechanisms 3 are located on both sides of the chip collection groove 2 on the top of the frame 1 (it is worth mentioning that the grinding mechanisms 3 in this embodiment are prior art and therefore will not be described in detail here). Several infrared sensors 4 are provided on one side wall of the chip collection groove 2 to sense debris on the bottom wall surface of the chip collection groove 2. The bottom wall of the chip collection groove 2 is an inclined structure with one end higher than the other. A water diverter 5 is provided at the higher end of the chip collection groove 2 to divert water flow. This makes the drainage more dispersed and even. A water tank 6 is provided at the bottom of the lower end of the chip collection groove 2. The water tank 6 is used to collect and store water. A water pump 7 is provided on one side of the water tank 6. The water pump 7 is used to pump water. The water outlet of the water pump 7 is connected to a water pipe 8. The other end of the water pipe 8 is connected to a control valve 9. The control valve 9 is an electromagnetic control valve, which is convenient to open or close the water circuit. The water outlet of the control valve 9 is connected to the water inlet of the water distribution drain 5. The water outlet of the water distribution drain 5 is provided with several water outlet pipes 10. The water pump 7 and the control valve 9 are both electrically connected to several infrared sensors 4. When there is a lot of debris on the inner wall surface of the chip collection tank 2, the infrared sensor 4 detects the debris on the bottom wall surface of the chip collection tank 2 and starts the water pump 6. The water pump 7 sends water from the water tank 6 to the control valve 9 through the water pipe 8. The control valve 9 sends the water to the water distribution outlet 5. The water distribution outlet 5 discharges the water from several outlet pipes 10 to the higher end of the chip collection tank 2. Since the chip collection tank 2 has an inclined structure, the water flows to the lower end of the chip collection tank 2. The water flow washes the debris on the surface of the chip collection tank 2 into the water tank 6. The debris is filtered by the filter disc 12 on the top of the water tank 6, so that the water falls into the water tank 6. This not only effectively cleans the debris on the surface of the chip collection tank 2, but also allows the water to be reused to achieve water circulation.
[0023] In this embodiment, the water tank 6 is provided with a drain head 11 on the side away from the water pump 7, and water is drained from the water tank 6 through the drain head 11 to facilitate the replacement of clean water.
[0024] In this embodiment, a filter disc 12 is detachably installed at the top opening of the water tank 6. A filter screen 13 is provided at the bottom of the filter disc 12. The filter screen 13 at the bottom of the filter disc 12 filters the debris washed down with the water flow. After use, the filter disc 12 can be removed and the filter screen 13 can be cleaned.
[0025] In this embodiment, the sensing ends of several infrared sensors 4 are arranged in contact with the bottom wall of the chip collection groove 2, and the several infrared sensors 4 are arranged in an array with equal spacing, which makes the sensing effect better.
[0026] In this embodiment, the grinding mechanism 3 includes a workpiece clamp 14 disposed on one side of the frame 1 and a grinding tool 15 disposed on the other side of the frame 1. The workpiece is processed by the workpiece clamp 14 and the grinding tool 15 (it is worth mentioning that the workpiece clamp 14 and the grinding tool 15 in this case are both prior art, so they will not be described in detail in this specification).
[0027] The present invention relates to a chip removal structure for a CNC grinding machine tool. Its installation, connection, or setting methods are all common mechanical methods, and any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented.
[0028] All technologies not described in detail in this utility model are known technologies. Those skilled in the art can easily implement this utility model based on their understanding of this specification, and the contents shown in the accompanying drawings are part of this specification.
[0029] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
